Mormon Rocks
Named for the Mormon settlers traveling from Utah to San Bernardino in 1851, the Mormon Rocks rest along what is now Highway 138 in the Cajon Pass. The towering rocks, which are made of sandstone, are peppered with small holes and caves, and offer views of the Cajon Pass from its peaks. Some of the wildlife that can be seen are owls, lizards, pack rats, White-throated Swifts, hawks, ravens, coast horned lizards, California Thrashers, and Western Kingbirds.
